HAS COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Orrin E. Wolf, Mayor-elect of North
Canton, takes himself and his new
position seriously.
"I deeply appreciate the confidence
reposed in me by the people," he said
.to a writer for The Sun. "I have no
illusions regarding the office of Mayor
of North Canton. This town is growing, and a growing community, like
a boy entering his teens, demands
much attention. Going into office with
every one of the Council a new member calls for conservative action and
much study of the problems facing
us."
The Mayor-elect is an optimist, and
he is a firm believer in what is known
as "The Community Spirit."
"When people pull .together they
are going to get somewhere." Regarding his co-workers around the
Council table, he said:
"Looking over the names of the new
Council I feel that each one has the
good of this town at heart. The incoming governing body will be a success."

Mr. Wolf has had the advantage
not only of collegiate education but
also of preparation for the Bar in
that most rigorous of legal training

with the 258 Aero Squadron.
In France he took part in the Muse-
Argonne major offensive, where so
many Americans died fighting, and
later was with the, Army of Occupation, Second Division, when it crossed

North Canton paused in reverence
between 10:45 and 11:30 on Monday
morning to observe Armistice day, the
day set aside to pay homage to the
soldiers of all wars, especially those of
the World War.
A numerous audience assembled on
the street and the Hoover plant lawn
on Main street to hear the stirring
address made by the Rev. George
Shurtz, pastor of the First Congregational church of Canton, a former
war chaplain with the celebrated
308 Engineers, A. E. F., inTTrance.
Drum Corps Leads
Headed by the famous Drum and
Bugle corps of North Canton Post No.
419, American Legion, the crowd
rapidly filled the space alloted the occasion. The corps made a striking
appearance in its uniform of maroon
and buff with bright metal headgear.
Seeing the corps in action makes it
easy to understand why this organization has won several prizes in competitive contests with other corps.
Rev. George Shurtz Speaks
The speaker's platform was placed
near the Main street sidewalk in order
to make certain that his words would
be heard. Seldom has any large body
of citizens been more "at attention"
than this one was on Monday.
Pastor Shurtz, who saw much fighting and had many experiences during
the World War, eloquently explained
the mefaning of "Peace and War."
His every word carried conviction as
he reviewed the signing of the armis-
tice and the ending of fighting.
- He said that peace was found beyond the struggles and heartaches of
war. He had seen both sides of war—
the side from home and the side
"over' there."
In the course of his speech he advanced the following thoughts: Eleven
years ago the world thrilled to the
authentic news that the great World
War was over. No one now old
enough to remember can ever erase
from his mind the almost incredibly

- SHAVER JUBILEE SINGERS
On Friday night, Nov. 15, the Shaver Jubilee Singers will be heard in
the Community Building, North Canton. From all accounts they have been
a most popular platform attraction for the past ten years. When radio came
into popularity a few years ago, the work of the organization attracted the
attention of the management of Station WLS (Chicago), and this group of
singers was asked to appear at that station. So immediate was their success
that they were engaged by the broadcasting company for a semi-monthly
coneert, which has been given for some years now. The organization will
feature the old plantation melodies and negro folk songs and spirituals.

That Greentown Game
It pleases The Sun to know that the

Independents played the game on
Sunday in the way it ought to be
played—without wrangling and "catcalls and hoots" from the side lines.
No sport can live if the onlookers are
permitted to razz the players. The
razzers are always in the minority,
anyway, and the amount of money
they contribute to the upkeep of a
team doesn't excite the treasurer
when he begins to count the change.

Sunday's Game
By FRANK BERRODIN
After trailing tlie Greentown Independents through three-quarters of-
the game, the- Cashner Motors un-!
corked a formidable offensive in the
fourth quarter to play their oppon-'
ents completely o(V their feet and incidentally make two touchdowns to
listment having expired . This is his
first visit' home since he joined that
famous branch of Uncle Sam's sea
soldiers.
Two and one-half years he spent in
Shanghai guarding the missionaries.
Since last March he has been located
in Lakehurst, New Jersey..
AUXILIARY OFFICERS
Art Christy of Fremont, district
governor of Rotarians, and his charming wife, came to North Canton on
Thursday afternoon, remained until
about 10 o'clock, saw much, heard
much and captured the hearts of the
local Rotarians and their wives. It
was unconditional surrender, so far
as North Canton was concerned.
Walter Underwood of Elyria,
widely known for his work in behalf
of crippled children was also a guest
of the Rotarians, and in the evening
he delivered an address in which he
cited the great strides made in Ohio
in behalf of unfortunate children
since Rotary clubs had become their
foster parents.
Greeted h\ the Cafeteria
In the afternoon Governor Art and
his wife were greeted by the members
of North Canton Rotary club in the
Hoover cafeteria. The wives of the
members were present, and they acted
as an escort to Mi's. Christy during
the tour through the Hoover factory
and until the dinner which was served
in the Community Christian church
dining hall.
It was, _in the . language of the
guests, "one of tne best dinners we
ever enjoyed, and we have "attended
a number in recent years." The tables
were appropriately decorated.
President Highfield Johnson presided, and he made the announcement
that the attendance was 100 percent.
This statement was greeted with applause. Lee T. Lewis was chairman
of the entertainment committee arid
made a short address.
In thanking them for the dinner and
the reception, Governor Christy paid
a giowing tribute to the owners of
the Hoover factory, and he declared
that "Mr. W. H. Hoover was a Ro-
tariay. in spirit many yei'.rs before the
first Rotary club' was started."
Are Splendid Singers
After dinner Art and his gracious
wife sang a number of songs, Mrs.
Christy at the piano. Can they sing?
Well, if Art ever decides to quit his
factory in Fremont, and other business interests, the managers of concert tours will grab a pen and gleefully shout, "Sign on the dotted line
and name your own salary." And the
same holds good for Mrs. Christy. She
has four young Christies in her home,
so it is not likely she will go on the
public platform.
Art Meets Rotarians
Before the dinner the Governor met
with the members of the Rotary club
in their room. He heard the reports
submitted by President Johnson and
Secretary Thomas G. Denton. He explained many things concerning Rotary, gave a little friendly advice and
said he is well pleased with the way
the North Canton club is going.
Praise N. C. Women
In conversation with a writer for
The Sun both Mr. and Mrs. Christy
were warm in their praise of their
reception here. "Charming women to
meet, and your men look well cared
for and happy, which speaks well for
their wives," said Mrs. Christy.
Art said he had been in many factories, but he regarded the Hoover
plant as one of the best he had seen.
"The comfort of the employes seems
to be the first consideration of this
company." Then he added slowly:
"M" wife and I have enjoyed every
minute since we came here today, and
we are carrying with us most pleasant thoughts of North Canton."

position seriously.
"I deeply appreciate the confidence
reposed in me by the people," he said
.to a writer for The Sun. "I have no
illusions regarding the office of Mayor
of North Canton. This town is growing, and a growing community, like
a boy entering his teens, demands
much attention. Going into office with
every one of the Council a new member calls for conservative action and
much study of the problems facing
us."
The Mayor-elect is an optimist, and
he is a firm believer in what is known
as "The Community Spirit."
"When people pull .together they
are going to get somewhere." Regarding his co-workers around the
Council table, he said:
"Looking over the names of the new
Council I feel that each one has the
good of this town at heart. The incoming governing body will be a success."

on Main street to hear the stirring
address made by the Rev. George
Shurtz, pastor of the First Congregational church of Canton, a former

308 Engineers, A. E. F., inTTrance.
Drum Corps Leads
Headed by the famous Drum and
Bugle corps of North Canton Post No.
419, American Legion, the crowd
rapidly filled the space alloted the occasion. The corps made a striking
appearance in its uniform of maroon
and buff with bright metal headgear.
Seeing the corps in action makes it
easy to understand why this organization has won several prizes in competitive contests with other corps.
Rev. George Shurtz Speaks
The speaker's platform was placed
near the Main street sidewalk in order
to make certain that his words would
be heard. Seldom has any large body
of citizens been more "at attention"
than this one was on Monday.
Pastor Shurtz, who saw much fighting and had many experiences during
the World War, eloquently explained
the mefaning of "Peace and War."
His every word carried conviction as
he reviewed the signing of the armis-
tice and the ending of fighting.
- He said that peace was found beyond the struggles and heartaches of
war. He had seen both sides of war—
the side from home and the side
"over' there."
In the course of his speech he advanced the following thoughts: Eleven
years ago the world thrilled to the
authentic news that the great World
War was over. No one now old
enough to remember can ever erase
from his mind the almost incredibly

- SHAVER JUBILEE SINGERS
On Friday night, Nov. 15, the Shaver Jubilee Singers will be heard in
the Community Building, North Canton. From all accounts they have been
a most popular platform attraction for the past ten years. When radio came
into popularity a few years ago, the work of the organization attracted the
attention of the management of Station WLS (Chicago), and this group of
singers was asked to appear at that station. So immediate was their success
that they were engaged by the broadcasting company for a semi-monthly
coneert, which has been given for some years now. The organization will
feature the old plantation melodies and negro folk songs and spirituals.

That Greentown Game
It pleases The Sun to know that the

Independents played the game on
Sunday in the way it ought to be
played—without wrangling and "catcalls and hoots" from the side lines.
No sport can live if the onlookers are
permitted to razz the players. The
razzers are always in the minority,
anyway, and the amount of money
they contribute to the upkeep of a
team doesn't excite the treasurer
when he begins to count the change.
